This is the start of Friday's daily thread covering all events related to #Russia and #Ukraine in the prolonged illegal war.

Day 345 - just three weeks until the anniversary of Putin's crazy and hellishly costly decision.

Updated in real time, keep checking back during the day
To support my work you can send tip offs in DMs, words of encouragement or buy me a coffee (see link in bio) - all are appreciated.

These threads take around 12 hrs a day to compile, collating, translating, verifying, editing etc.

Catch up on Thurs here:
#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours (estimated by Kyiv) show very little equipment destroyed but still insane amounts of conscripts and mobilised soldiers killed.

840 in a single day dying for the new Fuhrer.

#RussiansGoHome
British Intel today comes up with some good numbers of #Russia's prisons and Wagner recruitment.

This concurs with what I wrote yesterday, that Prigozhin's mob is running quite low on numbers, but the regular army is not of course.
The White House has flatly denied this story which broke last night.

German "sources" told Swiss media that CIA Director Burns tried to get #Russia and #Ukraine to agree a peace deal...

An explosion in #Enerhodar this morning which looks to have killed one person.

The victim was likely the driver of a waste truck, which may have been hit by an IED.
#Ukraine channels reckon it's a false flag operation by #Russia's Occupiers.
Overnight shelling in #Kherson hit the popular Epicentre supermarket.

Just another civilian target from the Terrorist State.

Thankfully no deaths or injuries.
#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
The exiled Mayor of #Melitopol has told #Ukraine's war 'news marathon' TV programme that "all hospitals are full in all of #Zaporizhzhia region and that the invaders had to start using sports centres.

Yesterday alone 8 more KAMAZ trucks full of injured soldiers were brought in.
#Germany's government has approved the supply of 88 Leopard-1 tanks to #Ukraine.

However they may not be much use. They cannot supply enough ammunition. The shells are a different calibre to Leopard-2s and no longer manufactured.

Anna Netrebko is a Russian opera singer who has publicly supported the war and invasion of #Ukraine for many years.

It seems some in #Italy are unaware or don't care or just want to profit from her despite her being sanctioned.

Something else strange in #Russia.

Why are they putting camoflouge nets around air defence systems on rooves?

As you can tell, it's a quiet news day in #Ukraine and Russia!
Other ways to express your displeasure with some of #Italy's cities permitting a war criminal supporter holding concerts in the EU soon.

#Netrebko #RussianWarCrimes #Russia

Imagine being in #Bakhmut right now.
Such small pleasures being such joy.

It's wonderful to see the embattled locals being able to enjoy clean running water (sort of), wash clothes, take a hot shower and even get a haircut.
#SlavaUkraini #BakhmutHolds
1/2
This morning I reported on an explosion in #Enerhodar with a man killed.

It's now confirmed an improvised explosive device was used and local #Ukraine patriots have claimed responsibility for the death of 'collaborator' Yevgeniy Kuzmin.

2/2

This spokesman of #Ukriane's resistance claims 'Traitor' Kuzmin was a former policeman who switched to helping #Russia's invaders.

"The Partisans of #Enerhodar continue to fight invaders... Each of you will be found and liquidated."

Impossible to verify where it was filmed
Main statements from today's #EU-#Ukraine summit:

Kremlin won't intimidate us, Ukraine will be a member of EU

For 1st time Ukraine records intention to join EU

EU to provide Ukraine first €1bn to rebuild after war

EU prepares 10th sanctions package (€10bn) against #Russia
Warning!
Graphic Photos from #Kherson after Russia's shelling today.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Across the city of #Kherson a shell flew through the wall of a private apartment.
No deaths reported.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Remember the offer to seel "Reaper" drones to #Ukraine for $1?

Well, one of #Ukraine's giant Antonov cargo planes landed at the Creech air force base today.

Just saying that the Reapers are based at Creech, you can read more about them here:

Earlier Washington confirmed that #Ukraine's latest military "shopping list" has been taken care of!

Sadly F-16s were unavailable, but everything else is supplied. The precision-guided rockets highlighted are GLSDB offering Ukraine even longer range firepower.

#StopRussia
Nice photo from earlier today in #Kyiv.
During a break from the official business of the EU summit, President @ZelenskyyUa and President of the European Council, @CharlesMichel share a moment. Or is it @Denys_Shmyhal? They look identical😅
Canada has imposed sanctions on 16 businesses and 38 individuals, almost all involved in spreading propaganda and disinformation.

Journalists, actors and singers are among the people targeted.
#Turkey's exporting vital electronics components and machinery to #Russia despite sanctions.

The @WSJ concludes "at least 13 Turkish firms exported a total of at least $18.5 million worth of items" including at least three shipments of goods from the USA

#StopRussia
I've only just learned of the death of another foreign humanitarian volunteer having been killed near #Bakhmut.

Pete Reed, an American medic, was evacuating civilians when a shell reportedly hit his ambulance yesterday.

His wife and mother asked for privacy.
RIP💙💛

Day 346 of the #RussiaUkraineWar - thanks for reading the start of another daily thread.

Today starts with news of what looks like #Ukraine strikes inside #Russia.

First though the link to Friday's thread in case you missed anything:

So, straight to the breaking news: a big fire to report in #Belgorod region of #Russia.

An oil depot is ablaze after shelling. The plant there is known to have produced metal parts for the Kerch (#Crimea) Bridge.

#StopRussia
Another short clip of the fire, which is growing by the way, in the north of #Belgorod region.

it's about 120km from the border with #Ukraine in a town called #Borisov.

No official comment yet from #Russia.

Welcome to Thurday's Daily Thread covering #Russia's war on #Ukraine

We've reached Day 344 of the conflict which Putin said would be over in 10 days, and which would have ended long ago had the current western support started 10 months ago.

But it's another bad start to the day
A fairly quiet Wednesday ended with more death with a terrorist attack on the eastern city of #Kramatorsk in the #Donetsk region.

An update on that in the next tweet, but if you missed anything, here's the link for yesterday's thread:

#StopRussia

#Russia's terrorist attack on #Kramatorsk has left 3 dead and 21 now known to be injured (the total's just been updated).

A short while ago the local council released this video detailing the 1 February attack and ending with the words "we will overcome everything together🇺🇦"

Thanks for reading the start of yet another daily thread documenting the news + crimes of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine

Wednesday represents Day 343 of the conflict.
If you have the ability to support me, feel free to buy me a coffee (link in bio), but these threads remain free
A busy day yesterday - I will repost soon about the scandalous actions of Russia's gymnastics team.

But lots more news too, including a late announcement from the US of more military aid.

Catch up on everything that happened Tuesday right here:

I am hoping this starts a campaign to not only get the seemingly Soviet loving @gymnastics (cc @BritGymnastics) to change its stance, but also the whole @Olympics movement.

Please retweet this or the original tweet.

Day 342 of the illegal war #Russia is waging on #Ukraine

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread with all the news that matters around the conflict and wider society.

For a check back on Monday's developments, click and scroll here:

#StopRussia

It continues to be reasonably quiet compared to the worst days of the war, but many people are still dying at the front on both sides.

#Russia continues to make ground, and according to Britain's military intelligence, will continue to do so, but without a major breaktthrough
The Wagner deserter who trekked across snowy wastelands to seek asylum in #Noway, has told CNN those who didn't want to fight were ruthlessly executed in front on new recruits.

A new week, week 49 of #Russia's war and Day 341 since #Putin took the illegal decision to invade a peaceful neighbour.

Here's another daily thread with all the news as #Ukraine fights for its very survival.

Here's the link to yesterday's thread:

Frist an update on #Russia's direct hit on an apartment block in #Kharkiv.

Remarkably so far the casualty figures are the same with one elderly woman killed and three other civilians injured.

Emergency services released these new photos of the disaster site.
#StandWithUkraine
Here's the British Intel briefing for Monday.
Under the radar mobilisation continues in #Russia:

It's Sunday 29 January, but also Day 340 of #Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour.

It's been a crazily busy evening. Both in #Ukraine and #Iran.

Welcome to the daily thread. Here's the link if you need a catch-up on yesterday's events:

Also, I ended up doing a separate thread on #Iran where drones, explosions, fires and earthquakes were all to the fore.

Here's where I tried to keep track of what is/was going on:

One of the big developing stories last night was the alleged attack on occupied #Ilovaisk.

In 2014 unarmed #Ukraine soldiers, given "safe passage" by #Russia were ruthlessly gunned down in Ilovaisk.

This video supposedly shows some of the 7 HIMARS strikes on the train station.
